DEVELOPMENT OF THE MODEL OF THE ACTIVE BRAKE PEDAL FORCE SIMULATOR BASED ON ELECTRIC DRIVE USING SOLIDWORKS

Abstract

Brake pedal feedback is important for driver’s perception not only from customer satisfaction point of view, but also from the safety point of view. The thesis provides an investigation of car brake pedal “feel” and brake blending. Unlike conventional brake analysis using real electrohydraulic brake components, the thesis aims at the development and design of the active brake feedback simulator based on the electric drive [1]. The choice of electromechanical components for the test bench is based on experimental data. This paper is concerned with the design of the test bench by selecting proper components and structure materials which will be used in the simulator.
